Provider verification

Confirm the business, the person and the scope.

A name on a list is a starting point. Florida warns that a listed certification may have expired, so verify current status before work begins.

Florida law

Paid measurement and mitigation are regulated activities.

Florida Statutes § 404.056 covers radon sample collection, analysis, interpretation and mitigation. Before providing those services, a certified individual must own, work for or be retained by a certified radon measurement or mitigation business. The statute includes a limited exemption for an uncertified commercial business that subcontracts measurement to a certified radon business and passes the complete report to the client.

Current Florida Statutes § 404.056

Verification steps

Use the current Department of Health records.

  1. 1

    Ask for the business certificate number

    Confirm whether the scope is measurement, mitigation or both.

  2. 2

    Ask who will perform or supervise the work

    Get the individual’s name and certificate number, not only a company name.

  3. 3

    Check both current state lists

    Florida publishes separate business and individual lists. Review the expiration information.

  4. 4

    Confirm questionable status with the program

    The Florida Radon Program lists 850-245-4288 and 800-543-8279 for certification questions.

Written scope

Certification does not replace a complete proposal.

Confirm the test protocol or system design, people responsible, reporting, code and permit responsibilities, post-mitigation test, operating documents, warranty and price in writing. Ask whether any part will be subcontracted and how that provider’s certification will be verified.

Florida Radon Pros does not certify, endorse or guarantee a provider. Any introduction is to an independent business, and the user remains responsible for checking current certification and scope.
